Study Notes
Analog-to-Digital Conversion (ADC)
-
Coding Schemes
- Binary Coding: Represents quantization levels with binary numbers ensuring a digital representation matches the original analog signal
- Gray coding: Successive values differ by just one bit, aiding in error detection and correction
Quantization and Coding
- Accuracy: Ensures the digital representation aligns with the analog signal
- Efficiency: Optimizes digital bit usage for storing or transmitting the signal
- Error Detection and Correction: Specific schemes like Gray coding help detect and correct errors in communication systems
Oversampling of A/D Converter
-
Benefits:
- Increased Resolution: Higher sampling rate provides more samples per unit time, essentially increasing the number of bits used to represent the analog signal
- Improved Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR): Quantization noise is spread over a wider frequency range, reducing its power spectral density leading to improved SNR
- Easier Anti-Aliasing Filtering: Anti-aliasing filters remove high-frequency components before sampling to prevent aliasing. With oversampling, the required cutoff frequency is lower, simplifying filter design and implementation
- Increased Tolerance to Clock Jitter: Higher oversampling rates mitigate the impact of timing errors or clock jitter in the conversion process, enhancing the stability and accuracy of the digital conversion
Delta-Sigma ADCs
- Utilize oversampling to achieve high-resolution conversion. These ADCs operate at high rates (e.g., 64x to 256x).
Oversampling of D/A Converter
- Sampling Rate and Nyquist Criterion: Oversampling in DACs involves converting a digital signal to analog using a sampling rate exceeding the Nyquist rate
- Higher Oversampling Ratios: Used (e.g., 2x, 4x, 8x) for higher resolution and improved DAC performance
-
Benefits:
- Improved Resolution: Oversampling enables more accurate reconstruction of analog signals with greater detail through interpolation techniques
- Reduced Sensitivity to Timing Errors: Mitigates the impact of timing issues or clock jitter within the digital signal processing chain
Inverse Discrete Fourier Transform (IDFT)
- Frequency Domain to Time Domain: Mathematically transforms the designed frequency response back into the time domain
FIR Filter
- Impulse Response: The coefficients obtained from the IDFT represent the FIR filter's impulse response and define its time-domain response, ensuring the desired frequency characteristics are met
Frequency Sampling Method: Advantages
- Allows Direct Specification: Straightforward design of filters fulfilling specific frequency domain requirements
- Provides Precise Control: Precise control over the magnitude response at desired frequencies, beneficial for applications requiring specific frequency shaping
- Design Modification Ease: Modifications to the filter design (e.g., adjusting the frequency response characteristics) can be readily made through adjustments to the specified frequency samples
Frequency Sampling Method: Considerations
- Sampling Rate: Influences the FIR filter's accuracy and resolution. Higher sampling rates provide finer control over the frequency response
- Windowing Effects: Windowing effects in the time domain, from the IDFT, can impact filter performance, particularly in terms of a stopband attenuation and transition bandwidth
Pole Zero Placement Design: Advantages
- Flexibility: Enables precise control over the filter's frequency response characteristics
- Customization: Tailors filter designs to meet specific requirements (e.g., passband ripple, stopband attenuation, and transition bandwidth)
- Efficiency: May achieve desired specifications with fewer coefficients compared to FIR filters of equivalent performance
Pole Zero Placement Design: Challenges
- Stability Issues: Careful pole placement is crucial to avoid instability, particularly near the unit circle boundary
- Complexity: Designing filters with complex frequency responses requires a thorough understanding of how pole-zero configurations affect the filter's behavior
FIR Filter Design with Windowing Method
- Involves multiplying an ideal (infinite length) impulse response with a window function within the time domain to achieve a finite-length filter
FIR Filter Design with Windowing Method: Concept
- To approximate an ideal frequency response, the ideal impulse response is multiplied by a window function in the time domain
FIR Filter Design with Windowing Method: Steps
- Ideal Impulse Response: Defining the desired filter frequency response often represented as an ideal impulse response
- Window Function Selection: Choose a suitable window function based on desired characteristics like ripple, stopband attenuation, or sharpness
FIR Filter Design with Windowing Method: Advantages
- Maximally Flat Response: Achieves a maximally flat response in the passband
- Simple Design and Implementation
- Suitable for Phase Distortion Minimization
FIR Filter Design with Windowing Method: Disadvantages
- Slower Rolloff: Compared to other filters like Chebyshev or Elliptic
- Not Suitable for Sharp Transitions: Not ideal for applications that require quick transitions between passband and stopband
Butterworth Filter
- Smooth, Flat Passband: Characterized by a maximally flat passband, ensuring smooth signal transition
- Ease Of Design and Implementation
- Phase Distortion Minimization: Suitable for applications where phase distortion is minimized
Elliptic Filter
- Steep Roll-off: Achieves a steeper transition from passband to stopband compared to other filter types like Chebyshev or Butterworth
- Passband Ripple: Has both passband and stopband ripple, distinguishing it from Chebyshev filters with ripple only in the stopband
- Design Parameters: Cutoff frequency, passband ripple, stopband attenuation, and filter order
Elliptic Filter: Applications
- Signal processing applications requiring steep roll-off and a compact transition band between passband and stopband
